以交际语境顺应视阈剖析语用失误

Analysis of Pragmatic Failures in Communicative Context Adaptation

语用失误是异文化冲突的常见现象,也是导致跨文化交际故障的重要根源。语言顺应论从本质上揭示了语言使用的重要特征:动态的选择—顺应。以Verschueren的顺应理论下的交际语境顺应理论为指导,就跨文化交际过程中经常出现的语用失误的问题进行阐释,并提出成功的跨文化交际应该是交际双方彼此对对方交际语境的顺应。

Pragmatic failure is a common phenomenon of the different cultural clashes and also an important source of the intercultural communication breakdown.Language Adaptation Theory reveals the important features of language use and dynamic choice.Guided by the theory of communicative context adaptation in Verschueren＇s Adaptation Theory,this paper explains the problems in pragmatic failures in intercultural communication and indicates that successful cross-cultural communication should be mutual contextual adaptation for communication of both parties.
